Pollock no. 344 

Curator: Okay, let's talk about this dynamic work, "Pollock no. 344", an acrylic-paint and impasto creation by Paweł Kluza. What are your immediate impressions? Editor: It feels like controlled chaos! There's this incredible energy bursting from the center, that almost visceral, red sphere. Like a supernova happening right before our eyes, wouldn’t you say? Curator: Indeed, that's precisely the drama the artist is playing with. Notice how the circular canvas is almost a container for that eruption. The tension between the raw energy of the gesture and the imposed form. Editor: So, tell me more about this raw energy… It strikes me that the layers of line—that web of blacks and thinner splashes of white, yellow, and red—build a sense of frantic movement, maybe like a dance across the painting? Curator: Precisely! It's a ballet of the subconscious! Kluza, inspired by the great abstract expressionist Pollock, seems to let the material dictate the flow. The impasto elements—those textured areas—also bring in a tactile, almost sculptural quality. Do you agree? Editor: Oh, totally! And I think the gray background works wonders. It’s like a foggy landscape against which these bold gestures truly stand out and, in contrast to all the violent colour in the painting's center, offers a moment for the eyes to wander. Curator: That contrast is vital! By containing his dynamic gestures within the circular boundary of the canvas, the artist amplifies the tension, creating something that pulses with internal force but never quite breaches its limits. Editor: So, in short, it is organized disorder that is barely maintained on a canvas... What does that make you think about? It has such a profound sense of spontaneity, yet every element seems thoughtfully placed and controlled to elicit powerful emotional impact! Curator: In its chaotic charm and the illusion of the image teetering on the verge of collapse, it's like a captured moment of absolute artistic expression. I have a feeling we could study its layers for ages!
